Klipsch H-700 Speakers...Help

[Fjd]

It's funny, I have searched and searched and have not been able to come up with a schematic for the Type C crossover; I guess I'm going to have to make one...

There is a hand-drawn schematic of the Type C balancing network in this thread about half way down the first page.

Very good, Thanks

Don't know if the modification is an upgrade...

There may be a difference in sensitivity between the alnico K-22-E used with the Type C Network and the ferrite K-22-E used with the Type E network.

The difference between the two networks is a change from 1uF to 2uF for the capacitor feeding the autotransformer, and a change in the transformer taps used for the squawker and tweeter.

I agree. Since my K-22-E woofer is 16 Ohm, I think the switch to the Type E crossover network would cause more headaches than it's worth. I am considering just replacing the existing 38 year old caps caps with new caps of the same value to freshen up the crossovers.

Replacing the old paper in oil capacitors is a no-brainer. They probably have significantly increased ESR. I used Solen metalized polypropylene. The price is right and IMHO they perform as well as much more expensive "audiophile" brands. Others here would argue otherwise.

or Sonicaps. They also work very well and are cost effective.
